[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]I wasn't talking about the reason they're looking for it, just half remembering some article on exo-planets and how a gas giant in a trinary system is unlikely[/QUOTE]Oh, right. Well, I don't think that's necessarily an overall rule. In the afore-linked Wikipedia article, it mentions that it's unlikely for gas giants to have formed [i]in the A.C. system[/i] in the same fashion that they formed around Sol, because the two stars approach to within 11 AU of each other. Therefore, any planet that orbited beyond 5 AU or so from either star would likely be swallowed by one star or the other. If there were instead a trinary system where the stars were very widely separated, then it would be an entirely different story. [/QB][/QUOTE]
